Arne Slot felt Liverpool showed the "mentality" of title-winners as they moved another step closer to Premier League glory with a 2-0 win over Newcastle.

Goals in each half from Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister at Anfield on Wednesday took the Reds 13 points clear at the top of the table.

Manager Slot, who watched the game from the stands as he started a two-match touchline ban, said: "I think what impressed me most was the mental strength in both games because after Everton and Wolves, maybe after Villa a bit, people started to question us a bit.

Yet even with just 10 games remaining, Slot is not thinking about the title just yet and is already looking ahead to next week’s Champions League clash against Paris St Germain.

The Dutchman said: "I think about PSG already and I watched them against City

Then I’ll think about the Premier League again and Southampton."

The defeat meant Newcastle lost ground in the battle for a Champions League spot, leaving them sixth, three points behind fourth-placed Manchester City.
